As I am reading I’m thinking about how the whole earth will
be blessed by the house of Israel brining the gospel, and how we are the house
of Israel, and it is up to us to be that blessing for Him. I feel a stirring to
do more. To focus my life and heart on Him and go forward with boldness in
declaring the good news of the gospel of Christ. I have a prayer in my heart to
know His will and to have the faith to follow it.
As I read about the time when Christ shall rule on the
earth, the image comes to my mind of the family I met in college who I found so
baffling. They were so kind and gentle to each other and full of light. In an
unabashed way that made me very uncomfortable in my cynicism. But that is what
I imagine Christ’s family to be like. And I want my family to be like. I need
to be more kind and gentle. I need to turn my will to Him and let Him fill me
with his light, so I can act as He would act towards those I love. Towards
everyone really, but I know I need to start with my family first.
I never remember that Satan is bound by the righteousness of
the people. He has no hold on their hearts because they don’t give it to him.
Not some magical power of God. And that’s an individual choice I could make
now.
